Making Capitalism in China: The Taiwan Connection - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: ew generations ago, the very idea ofretirement was foreign to the vast ma-jority of Americans. Retirement wasfor the well-to-do. Most peopleworked until they couldn’t physically(or legally) work any longer. They lived a few moreyears in greatly reduced circumstances—often withtheir adult children—and then they died. Social secu-rity was in its infancy, and anyhow, it was just a mini-mal safety net for the last couple of years of life.Company-paid health insurance and pensions wereuncommon. Most people’s lifetime earnings didn’tallow for much retirement savings, and the elderlywere the poorest age group in America.In the last 30 years or so, all of this has been turnedtopsy-turvy by simultaneous revolutions in health care,employment rights, pensions and government policiesthat encourage tax-deferred saving. Today most work-ers are protected from mandatory retirement by theAge Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) thatcovers workplaces of more than 20 employees and mostoccupations other than some such as highly paid execu-tives in policy-making positions, tenured university fac-ulty, fire fighting and law-enforcement personnel.On the other hand, many people who saved aggres-sively while they were young are able to retire muchearlier than age 65.Today millions of elderly Americans now live com-fortably in retirement, with income from a combina-tion of social security, private pensions and their ownsavings. Many retirees have significant health carecoverage from their previous employees.ixIntroduction
Readicide: How Schools Are Killing Reading and What You Can Do About It - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Every year, those who publish dictionaries are faced with a central question:which emerging words should be added to the new editions? Because somewords have longer life expectancies than others, these decisions are not takenlightly. To make it into a dictionary, a new word must not only show evidencethat it has been around a few years but also that it demonstrates some indicationof staying power. With these criteria in mind, the editors at Merriam-Websterhave chosen a number of new entries for the Merriam-Webster’s CollegiateDictionary, eleventh edition (2006). Recognizing that new words can tell us a bitabout our culture, here are five of my favorites:drama queen: noun, a person given to often excessively emotionalperformances or reactionsgastric bypass: noun, a surgical bypass operation that typicallyinvolves reducing the size of the stomach and reconnecting the smallerstomach to bypass the first portion of the small intestine so as torestrict food intake and reduce caloric absorption in cases of severeobesity
Building an Electronic Disease Register: Getting the Computer to Work for You (Primary Care Health Informatics) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This book has two aims. The first is to demonstrate that computers can work foryou and not the other way around. No, please don't laugh ... it really is possible.Computers can play a major role in improving patient health and patient care.However, in order to achieve this, it is necessary to do a number of things:• computerise patient records• implement systems to process those records in accordance with best knownpractice and available evidence• change working practices and procedures• train staff to give them new skills• manage the process of change.Thus the second aim of the book is to show how to do these things in practice. Weshall use the example of an electronic coronary heart disease register (CHD) toshow how this may be achieved.We shall draw upon a case study from a local primary care group (PCG) wherewe shall consider the implementation in two practices, with different proprietarygeneral practice systems. We shall consider the example from the perspective of aGP and a practice manager.
Would I Lie to You - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Do you ever feel like the luckiest girl alive? Well, you’re not, because I am. At this moment, I’m sunningmyself on über-social, totally gorgeous Main Beach in East Hampton, watching the preppy boys pull offtheir pastel Lacoste polos and smear Coppertone all over their sun-dappled shoulders. See, there’s areason any New Yorker who doesn’t want to leave the city completely summers in the Hamptons, andit’s the same reason people wear Christian Louboutin strappy sandals or fly first class: the best is justbetter.Speaking of the best, nobody does it better than Eres. I’m a modest girl, but even I think I look prettystunning in my mango-colored halter bikini top and matching boy shorts. Okay, maybe I’m not thatmodest, but why should I be? If you were looking this gorgeous lolling about on a white sand EastHampton beach, you’d be talking about it too. As I learned in my private, all-girls’ Upper East Sideelementary school, it’s not bragging if it’s true.
When Research Goes Off the Rails: Why It Happens and What You Can Do About It - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Welcome to the wonderful world of research. Actually, as a reader ofthis book, you probably don’t need a welcome; you’re already in it, as aresearcher or a student learning the ins and outs of design, methodology,sampling, statistics, focus groups, and all of the other arcane arts that arenecessary to be successful. As researchers and teachers of research ourselves,for more years than either of us would like to admit, we know about thesethings and how they’re presented, both in the classroom and in publishedpapers. But we also know what’s not told—that research is not a smooth,paved superhighway leading from the idea, to the proposal, through thefunding agency, the execution of the plan, and ending in eventual publica-tion. It’s more like a rutted back road, full of dead ends, potholes, detours,and branching side roads. We also know that highways may be fast andefficient, but they’re boring; the back roads are far more unpredictable andscenic. You never know what you’ll find; sometimes it will be little morethan a nondescript backwater town, but more often than not it will be avista that takes your breath away.There are many textbooks that act as tour books for the superhigh-way, but none that are guides to the back roads; this book is such a guide.It tells what really happens on the bumpy road of research; things you findout about only over a beer in the campus pub with a seasoned researcherwho’s in a melancholy mood. Each of the 42 vignettes describes how acarefully crafted, well-thought-out study has been derailed by Murphy’slaw—“If anything can go wrong, it will.” In a few cases, the chapters areas cathartic as they are educational, with the authors sadly relating howthe derailment was disastrous. What comes through in all of the chapters,though, is ingenuity, flexibility, resourcefulness, and—most of all—thelove of research. Projects may have been derailed, at least for a while, butthe researchers weren’t.
Greener Than Thou: Are You Really An Environmentalist? - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The Hoover Institution is designing and implementing task forces onspecific topics that coincide with Hoover’s ongoing research initiatives.Representing multiyear efforts, the task forces will adopt a method-ology whereby a team of experts, both Hoover fellows and otherprominent scholars, are brought together and organized as a team, or“virtual faculty,” to work on commonly defined topics and projects.One of these new task force efforts, with lead sponsorship by Johnand Jean DeNault, is the Task Force on Property Rights, Freedom,and Prosperity.The premise behind Terry Anderson and Laura Huggin’s newbook, Greener Than Thou, complements Hoover’s broader effort ofunderstanding the role of property rights in a free society in the above-mentioned task force. In Greener Than Thou, Anderson and Hugginsaddress the critical link between property ownership and care for as-sets, as evidenced in the poignantly titled chapter 4, “No One Washesa Rental Car.” Throughout the book, Anderson and Huggins delvedeeply into how best to use property rights and markets to convertthe environment from a problem into an asset, providing a convincingalternative to regulation via the property rights and market path. Notonly do property rights lead to prosperity, which in turn leads toenvironmental quality, but the combination of property rights andmarkets makes the environment an asset that can receive careful ste-wardship from its owner.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
